CRM FOR RECRUITERS

Why Recruiters Choose Starrise as Their CRM

Notes

Note salary expectations, notice period, the offers they turned down and why. Every note is dated, so when the right role opens up a year later, you know exactly where they stood.

Birthday Reminders

Placed candidates remember who remembered them. Get a reminder for birthdays and work anniversaries, and send a quick message that keeps you in mind for their next move.

Custom Sorting

Sort by last created to work through yesterday’s career fair, by last opened to get back to a shortlist, or by city to find candidates for a role in a new location.

Get Starrise Contacts on the AppStore

Keep every candidate and hiring manager in one place on your iPhone. Free to download, no account needed.

Archive & Favorite

Candidates move on, and their work email goes with them. Archive the old address, favorite the private mobile, and reach them wherever they are now.

Map

See where your candidates live before you pitch a role. Who could commute to the new office, and who is close enough to meet for coffee this week?

Quick Action Buttons

Many candidates answer WhatsApp faster than email. Message, call or email with one tap, or create a calendar event for the interview straight from the profile.

HOW RECRUITERS USE IT

Your Talent Pool, Not Just a Pipeline

Most placements don’t happen on the first call. They happen a year later, when someone you liked is finally ready to move and you are the one who stayed in touch. Starrise Contacts helps you remember who they are, what they want and when to ask again.

  • After a screening call: add a dated note with motivation, salary range and deal breakers, and put the candidate on a list for the role.
  • At a career fair: with Pro, scan business cards or add contacts by voice between two conversations.
  • When they say “not now”: set a Keep in Touch reminder (Pro) and check in when it comes up, months later.
  • Before the debrief: let the AI note summary (Pro) turn months of notes into a few clear lines.

Your notes stay on your device, and with iCloud Sync (Pro) in your own iCloud. They are never sent to us, and there is no account to create.
